DOWLING, MI – A standoff with police in Barry County ended with the suspect being shot Saturday night.

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf confirmed from the scene shortly before 9 p.m. that there had been an officer-involved shooting that stemmed from "a domestic situation gone bad."

He said he had no other information.

Michigan State Police Detective First Lt. Chuck Christensen said at 9 p.m. that he was on his way to scene in southern Barry County and that MSP would be taking the lead in the investigation. "Apparently, they were dispatched there for a suicidal subject," Christensen said of Barry County sheriff's deputies, adding that he had no other information.

Both Leaf and Christensen said they did not know the condition of the man who had been shot.

Police scanner traffic that began at about 6:30 p.m. indicated a male subject who was armed had gone inside a home in the 9800 block of Banfield Road and refused to come out.

“He keeps saying it’s not going to be pretty,” a law enforcement officer could be heard saying over the scanner.

Police shut down access to Banfield at Drake, Dowling and Pifer roads. The location is east of Delton near Dowling.

While in the house, the man was asking police for permission to talk to his wife.

At about 7:12 p.m. an officer on the scene could be heard over the scanner saying, “Subject walking toward truck, disregards commands.”

Moments later, a voice could be heard saying “shots fired, suspect down.” A Barry County dispatcher repeated those words, after which an officer on the scene could be heard saying, “Roll EMS, priority one.”

A Barry County dispatcher a short time later said a medical helicopter was being dispatched.
